This was brought up here: #1041 (comment).
UserTopicVisibilityPolicy.unknown
allows us to deserialize unknown enum values gracefully at the edge.

However, while we manually declare that it wouldn't be possible that we encounter UserTopicVisibilityPolicy.unknown
when accessing our internal data store (i.e.: ChannelStore
), our type doesn't agree with that, and require the UserTopicVisibilityPolicy.unknown
case to be handled for an exhaustive switch. We use assert
in such cases, but it is not supposed to be reachable (unless we have a bug).
We should make sure that such an assertion is not needed. This might require removing unknown
from UserTopicVisibilityPolicy
.
We specifically exclude UserTopicVisibilityPolicy.unknown
at the edge. This may or may not apply to other unknown
enum values. It would be good to do a sweep of those and decide if we need to follow-up on them as well.
